About Kuponya Kennels and Kids

Falco, Dakota AND the rest of US

They live on a farm in Lucketts, Virginia with us adults, teenage daughter, adult children and granddaughter (visiting from nearby), goats, turkeys, chickens, cat and of course more dogs - Maltese, Brussels Griffon and our Border Collies - papa, Falco, and mama, Dakota.

Our puppies have a wide variety of socialization between us folks and farm animals. If you've ever seen the movie Babe, you'll find our farm much like Babe's farm. Just look at the photo below of Falco and Dakota's eight pups, and you'd think Babe told them to line up by color! They really did this on their own - yes Border Collies are extremely intelligent.

Mama Goats & Kids are for Herding

Dura Mater means "tough mother" in Latin - and so she is named. She provides a herding challenge - along with her kid and the other goats on the farm.

Raw Fed Dogs

DOGS DON’T COOK!

We’ve never seen a dog bake or cook their food - so neither do we!

We have been raw food feeding our dogs and litters for 20 years and find they have superior health with a vet needed for preventative and wellness care. They free feed (eat as much as they need each day), have optimal weights, no allergies, no skin conditions and most of all - THRIVE!

With some input from Pottenger’s Cats, (Pottenger's Cats: Early Epigenetics and Implications for Your Health | Price-Pottenger) we choose to feed our dogs what they would forage in the wild - meat, eggs, vegetables, fruits, and an occasional barn mouse - with added nutrients and antioxidants to ensure complete and optimal nutrition. We also use:

ThorneVet - Thorne Vet

The Real Meat Company (realmeatpet.com)

And while we believe this is ideal, we realize raw food is not feasible for all dog owners. Here are some of the best options for kibble:

How Much for a Puppy?

Let me say a few words to you, yes you, the person who writes an email to simply ask the price. The person who calls and after hearing a price surprisedly states: “I can buy a cheaper pup elsewhere”. I also address you - the person who doesn’t care about papers because I want “just a pet.”

No dog is “just a pet.”

Behind every pure bred

No dog is “just a pet.”

Behind every pure bred puppy/dog is a BREEDER. I’m using capital letters to differentiate a breeder from a pet factory or mill. A reputable breeder does not breed dogs without papers, that does not protect the integrity of the breed. Registration (papers) are records of lineage that document bloodline and allow one to research any possible health issues present in the lineage. When you tell a Breeder you don’t care about papers what you’re really telling them is you couldn’t care less about the health of the puppy you just want the cheapest thing you can find! When you select to buy a puppy from a reputable and quality breeder, this breeder is responsible for the health of every pup; both dogs owned and every pup they’ve sold for its lifetime. This breeder will skip holidays, miss sleeping, and most of their personal house space has been turned into space for their dogs. The truly passionate breeder who loves what they breed, puts their whole heart and soul into it. Not only in puppies that are sold, but also in each client who owns a piece of their heart and now is a member of their extended family. This does not take into account any puppy/dog who might get sick or need extra help to thrive. Breeders worry about their babies after they leave and will take one back without question.

A breeder will get their hands dirty, often covered in everything accompanied with birthing. Because that’s what life is about...In the middle of birth and death is life. The wheel that keeps turning. A breeder will do tests, echos, x-rays, analysis, emergency c-sections, vaccinations, register litters, research pedigrees, deworm, as well as microchip their puppies and get them evaluated by specialists. Last but by no means least, a breeder CHOOSES the family lucky enough to have one of their puppies. Yes, you read that right. A true breeder chooses who they sell to because they are not making money off the sale. There is no compensation that can offset the investment a Breeder has made so they need to be confident it's the right fit. Many times saying more no’s then yes... A good Breeder will have different criteria for those wanting to carry on their bloodline, why? Because breeding is not a responsibility to ever be taken lightly, it’s a lifestyle choice set aside for ONLY the few devoted people willing to sacrifice. Because a dog is never “just a pet” it’s the Breeder’s legacy, a little boy’s best friend, a little girl’s protector, an elderly person’s therapy, a member of the family, someone’s whole world!!!
